The envelope was addressed to a man n

35、amed Raoul, who, I was relatively certain, did not live with us. The envelope wasnt sealed, so I opened it. The inside of the card was blank. Ed, my husband, explained that the card was both from and to the newspaper deliveryman. His name was apparently Raoul, and Raoul wanted a holiday tip. We were

36、 meant to put a check inside the card and then drop the envelope in the mail. When your services are finished at 4 a.m., you cant simply hang around, like a hotel bellboy expecting a tip. You have to be direct.So I wrote a nice holiday greeting to this man who, in my imagination, fires The New York

37、Times from his bike aimed at our front door, causing more noise with mere newsprint than most people manage with sophisticated(复杂的) black market fireworks. With a start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4 a.m. wake-up noise was not ordinary rudeness but carefully executed spite（怨恨）: I had

38、not tipped Raoul in Christmas past. I honestly hadnt realized I was supposed to. This was the first time hed used the card tactic（策略）. So I got out my checkbook. Somewhere along the line, holiday tipping went from an optional thank-you for a year of services to a Mafia-style protection racket (收保护费组

39、织).Several days later, I was bringing our garbage bins back when I noticed an envelope taped to one of the lids. The outside of the envelope said MICKEY. It had to be another tip request, this time from our garbage collector. Unlike Raoul, Mickey hadnt enclosed his own Christmas card from me. In a w

40、ay, I appreciated the directness. I know you dont care how merry my Christmas is, and thats fine, the gesture said. I want $30, or Ill forget to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day. I put a check in the envelope and taped it back to the bin. The next morning, Ed noticed that the envelope was

41、gone, though the trash hadnt yet been picked up: Someone stole Mickeys tip! Ed was quite certain. He made me call the bank and cancel the check. But Ed had been wrong. Two weeks later, Mickey left a letter from the bank on our steps. The letter informed Mickey that the check, which he had tried to c

42、ash, had been cancelled. The following Tuesday morning, when Ed saw a truck outside, he ran out with his wallet. Are you Mickey? The man looked at him with scorn（轻蔑）. Mickey is the garbageman. I am the recycling. Not only had Ed insulted（侮辱） this man by suggesting that he was a garbageman, but he ha

43、d obviously neglected to tip him. Ed ran back inside for more funds. Then he noticed that the driver of the truck had been watching the whole incident. He peeled off another twenty and looked around, waving bills in the air. Anyone else? Had we consulted the website of the Emily Post Institute, this

44、 embarrassing break of etiquette (礼节) could have been avoided. Under trash/recycling collectors in the institutes Holiday Tipping Guidelines, it says: $10 to $30 each. You may or may not wish to know that your hairdresser, mailman and UPS guy all expect a holiday tip.55. The newspaper deliveryman pu
